Lyrics
Seemed Like A Good Idea
(Words and music, Debbie Soul and Kimber Hart, c 1998)
V1: Gettin' married was the thing to do
After we finished high school
From a prom dress to a wedding gown
There wasn't much Mama had to do.
The next year there were babies
And a little house, and we didn't have a dime
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
V2: You found a job with promises
Of bringin' us a life with finer things
You'd be away, but not for long
Tellin' me you're goin' to find our dreams
But there I was all alone
And missin' what money can't buy
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Oh, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
SOLO
V3: All the years that came and went
You were near but then you'd leave again'
I was longin' for some tenderness
A caring heart, someone to call a friend
But you were so far away
When he walked in and his eyes caught mine.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Oh, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
